What reading level is The Place of the Beautiful in the City Plan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the city plan that makes the beautiful in cities possible. J Except as a diagram may be considered Interesting or beautiful, looked at as a design on paper, or as the city plan as a whole might appear beautiful because of its recogniza- ble order and symmetry and logically good arrangement as viewed from an airplane, the city plan in itself is not beautiful at all. Nevertheless it is the city plan, and the city plan alone that makes the beautiful in cities possible.
This is repeated, for ...it is the crux of the whole matter. I venture boldly to assert that there can be no such thing as a beautiful city without a city plan conceived and executed not only so as to serve all the practical requirements of a city, but also to provide abundant opportunities for the proper expression of the beautiful. It is true that the [ 11 ] beautiful in cities comes actually through the works of landscape architecture, architecture, sculpture and engi- neering, but the point of greatest importance to note is that the city plan provides the location and arrangement, the elevation or gradient, the foreground and background, the vistas, balance and symmetry, the street scenes; it provides a proper sense of scale, the broad relationships, the environ- ment, and the opportunity for the grouping, assembling and composition of such works under conditions that make them truly and permanently beautiful.
